The purpose-implemented SWM in the MTS Miftahul Ulum’s EFL classroom was avoiding the use of the students’ vernacular i.e. Madurese language when learning EFL and promoting peer group interaction among the students so they didn’t feel intimidated to be involved in the EFL learning process It could create a more students-centered learning in the classroom
